Guidelines for sound herd
Ebuild maintenance
It's not uncommon that a package is part of sound herd but have a direct
maintainer. To avoid misunderstanding, such packages are to be considered
maintained by that developer, leaving the herd as a fallback for when the
maintainer is away for too much time. Always try to get a hold of the direct
maintainer before touching a package that has a direct maintainer.
